    Aquiline Drones

    Your concerns are understandable. To be sure, I have encountered some red flags throughout this initial rollout of their training. However, I am (still) curious enough to invest the time (and course costs) to see the training through to the end. As I have mentioned, AD has received a great...

    Aquiline Drones

    The training module presenting AD's equipment & system has not yet been released, which will likely occur around the same time as their in-house training. My remaining concerns (for my own education) are with what AD refers to as "Mastering A Solution." While a thorough overview of opportunities...

    Aquiline Drones

    I actually stopped by AD's headquarters while I was in the Hartford area. Their CFO was kind enough to meet briefly with me, despite the fact they are very busy with this initial rollout of their F2F program. They are currently preparing for live training on their equipment and software, while...

    Litchi mission hub to Litchi on Smart Controller

    DOH! Found the problem. One must be logged into the SC's Litchi...using the SAME login as used for the mission hub on the PC...of course. The login on the SC Litchi app is hidden at the end of the flight modes menu, opened with the top left icon. It's all downhill from here.

    Litchi mission hub to Litchi on Smart Controller

    I am trying to employ Litchi on a Smart Controller for control of waypoint missions on an M2P. However, I seem unable to sync my missions (from a PC-based mission hub) to Litchi on the SC. Has anyone experienced this, and is there a common solution? Thanks, in advance!

    UTC Commercial UAS Training Level 1

    Actually...the UAVSI certification appears to be more in line with what I've been seeking. The program manual outlines specific skills and expectations. Not certain I'd make it to Level 3, but a clear path is laid out here, and not simply a generic or vaguely categorized course outline.

    UTC Commercial UAS Training Level 1

    Fair question. The training is, ostensibly, developed by DJI (or so the UTC site seems to indicate). It is the only widely-publicized course of instruction and certification I've found so far that is DJI sanctioned.

    UTC Commercial UAS Training Level 1

    Thank you! And I have checked out Avion, based on one of your earlier posts. Might be the way to go.

    UTC Commercial UAS Training Level 1

    If they do, it is apparently a potential safety issue.

    UTC Commercial UAS Training Level 1

    I submitted an inquiry regarding the UTC Commercial UAS Training Level 1 course, as I am interested in obtaining some form of professional certification, going forward. Here is the inquiry and the response from UTC (my emphasis in the response)... Dear OFAP: Your questions in UTC have been...

    Another Issue, friends?

    you responded appropriately. for this and other reasons, i have maintained a "no family or friends" assignment policy. it may seem harsh, but it circumvents so many problems.
